This is wild.
Another almost four thousand gullibles parted from their hard earned, and "investing" into a company with a P&L at MINUS £150,000,000 with a total turnover of barely £2m a year.
Interestingly though, this round only raised £1.5m and that is WAY below any previous round. So perhaps people are catching on? IDK. Wild that people don't see what a shitshow it is honestly.
@bloor did you see the AI bot feature slide?
The last bastion of any grift to get that sweet sweet AI investment money 🤣
@bloor Unusual behaviour from their website that eventually freezes the browser.
To reproduce: Visit the site with chrome browser on android, deny the site location access and reject all cookies. Notice the rapid flickering of the location icon. Pinch zoom or scroll around the map until it freezes. Try to reload the page. It fails.
Is tje code spamming so many location requests that it breaks? Same using Samsung browser but faster. Would you rely on this?
@geoffl @cybergibbons just what you want in an emergency situation LOL
@bloor how are they still in business?
@InsertUser cashflow from "investors"
also places which should know better like the blue light services are still encouraging its use in place of the perfectly workable OS grid system that every young person was taught at least in 1980s
@vfrmedia @bloor @InsertUser
When watching one of the most recent ‘Ambulance’ episodes (Yorkshire AS) on BBC a call handler was wittering on, advising someone to download the app, pass on the code. Shouting at TV ensued. On iOS, WGS84 lat-lon is immediately available from the default install Compass app. Android must be same. Never mind the 4G networks-device integration.
@bloor they should just stick "AI" all over their website; that'd have them drowning in VC cash
